Hi

customer wants to make the non-user-defined suffixes invisible to
anonymous users, e.g. he does not want to have anonymous clients read
his cn=localhost and cn=monitor and cn=schema etc. entries, but only the
user-defined suffixes. Is this possible?
He does not want to disallow anonymous requests at all.

For suffixes in the database, you can set access control to allow only
authenticated users access - and much more.

For cn=schema and cn=monitor, the only built in "switch" I am aware of is
to disable all anonymous access. However, I believe a server pre-op
search plugin could tell if the client was anonymous and reject such
searches. There are other entries below cn=monitor that are restricted to
admin only.
